GIVEAWAY: 5 copies of A Summer Affair by Elin Hilderbrand
June 11th, 2009
Are you interested in winning 1 of 5 copies of a wonderful summer read called A Summer Affair by Elin Hilderbrand courtesy of Valerie at Hachette Book Group?. This is the perfect summer read for your book club and there is even a reading guide which you can see here which is just great when it comes to discussing the book together. My book club, the Page Turners, has chosen this as one of our summer selections so you will see a review for this one before the summer is at an end. Here’s a bit about the book…
Claire Danner Crispin, mother of four young children and nationally renowned glassblower, bites off more than she can chew when she agrees to co-chair the Nantucket’s Children Summer Gala.
Claire is asked to chair the benefit, in part, because she is the former high school sweetheart of rock star Max West. Max agrees to play the gala and it looks like smooth sailing for Claire-until she promises a “museum-quality” piece of glass for the auction, offers her best friend the catering job, goes nose-to-nose with her Manhattan socialite co-chair, and begins a “good-hearted” affair with the charity’s Executive Director, Lockhart Dixon.
Hearts break and emotions are pushed to the limit in this riveting story of one woman’s attempt to deal with loves past and present, family, business, and high-powered social pressures. Elin Hilderbrand’s unique understanding of the joys and longings that animate women’s lives will make this her newest summer bestseller.

Ok, maybe I'm just dense, but did you change your blog recently? Because I think it's fab! =)
Next… My favorite summer read so far? Can't really say, since summer hasn't really come & stayed. It's just such a tease!! But I just finished reading April & Oliver this week, & it was warm-ish on Tuesday, so that's it.
